DESPONDENCY TO RESPLENDENCY

In sleuth of answer to life’s madness
Came an onslaught of great mundaneness,
Guided by principles to be selfless
Often times I was so helpless
 
Each heart has two empty holes
Filling them must be our goals,
One belongst to the Almighty indeed
The other, Eros, from the human need
 
Giving and giving all of these years
Repayment came with buckets of tears,
Spirituality filled the major one
Whilst the other remained steadfastly undone
 
So shocking it was to me!
Second one filled with tragedy,
Looking into your tearful eyes
I no longer live, with heart-felt cries
